So I put myself into unnecessary problems.

I bought this car with no issues. A week after it displayed "check engine light" and also due to snow, it wiper is not fully efficient. So I went to AutoZone to fix the wiper which cost 29$ and got a free scan on my CEL. it came back with code p1273 and code p1444. Something about oxygen sensor was mentioned and I looked up prices online and told myself. It something that can be fixed.

So I took it to a mechanic workshop and said they will do a diagnostic scan on the car price btw $55 and $110 and said go ahead and do it.

Well I was called to come and gave me a bill of $1624 to do repairs. I said to myself this car is working smoothly nah so where did $1624 come from. The list tild me they will buy parts of $600(o2 sensor, exhaust manifold etc) and labour is $1000. cry.

My heart was so broken. I said to myself what if the car breakdown nko? I have considered so many options. Once I have the title of the car in hand, i will sell it for below $2000 and use the money to finance another car from a dealer.

$1600 to fix a car. Infact the thing break my heart mo br small

Infact I'm selling it, I'm just waiting for the title in the mail. IMHO, nothing beats a new car. I drove this Nissan Altima 2013(it was brought new in 2013), it was a very smooth ride. up till now, no issues apart from changing every 3000 miles. Since June, y3sterday was the first time i will see its engine due to oil change. It has never been opened before but I don't think I can finance a new car paying for 4 years lol.. who get time.

Well No. I didn't. My mistake that bite me so hard. My confusion is the car is working so well despite the problems discovered.

I believe it will be so foolish of me to spend $1600 on the car. Infact it's the $1000 labour costs that got me mad and heart broken.

Lesson learned in a hard way. I was like how much to fix this in Nigeria?

Any advice?

I will advice you to ship the car to naija if you have a trustworthy somebody who can sell the car for you in naija. Thou it depends on the make & year model of the car.
Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by bigtt76(f): 12:15pm On Jan 05, 2018
Yea very good idea. Just buy the part and include in the deal. A 2013 model of your car can still fetch you like $10000 from Nigeria if I'm not mistaken undecided

This is not the place for this kind of post.

However, your car is fine. The only thing you might be experiencing is fuel consumption or a bit rough ride.

O2 sensor also called Oxygen sensor measures the ratio of Oxygen that can be permitted into the engine for combustion with Fuel. A good balance of 02 + Fuel gives you the exact correct mpg needed.

You are in the abroad. That's why it's so expensive. However. You can order for Used 02. It will work, so long as the CEL light � goes out. And a Used part will be super cheaper.
Pls don't say you can't buy a Used part because you are in the abroad. Wise up! ...

who born me? I will look on ebay and buy a used OEM O2 sensor. I should be able to fix it myself.. Its Bank 1 Sensor 1.

Thanks for the great advise.

Yes the car drives very good. I went on high way 90 and 55 yesterday and the car was moving great. I am just being worried over nothing

I have been following this thread some kind and what I hate most is doing online begging or playing smart on people's kindness. What's the harsh treatment all about? What is it with you are totally unfortunate? Stop playing pity games here, no one owes you anything in this world, i have done some odd jobs in the past, I didn't beg anyone for anything physically or online. I worked as sales boy After secondary school in 2009, hawked airtel(zain then) SIM cards for,I'd go with airtel bus from one town/city to another for 3 months, petrol/kerosene attendant all in two years two years before I got admission to one of the best university in Nigeria, did laborer for bricklayers where I got paid between #850-#1,200 per day 6am to 6pm in my 100L and 200L during breaks. Not that I came from a poor home neither they are very rich, But majority of my friends then we're from poor home and that's what they did then to survive and they were even surprised I could do stuffs like that and I realized nothing beats making your own money, you will spend it wisely. Two of those guys are now in Law school(Yola and Abj), while I graduated in 2015 and I got a job with OK salary even before service, I saved up in the past to buy my first car(1994 Honda Accord) using it for transportation from Ibadan to Osogbo then before the dads business get to another level and I have no reasons to do those stuffs again and I want to believe the jobs I mentioned are still available here in Nigeria. Oh wait I remember I worked during the 2011/2012 ASUU strike too in Lagos where I used to load and offload yams from truck. I didn't die, I was just a bit ugly then But after I graduated I got job even before Nysc through the network I have made while doing those jobs, I'm doing very ok now. I believe you have active hands and legs, try to live a purposeful life, fix right goals. Helping people like you everyday is like creasing more poverty in the land, cuz you guys will always come back. Work bro

Thunder will chop off your mouth. So not falling for your scam is harsh treatment??

Let's even say it's real, so not helping you is harsh treatment? What kind of of ENTITLEMENT do you think anyone here owes you?


I am Nigerian, I have never left Nigeria but the way you Nigerians behave with your "Right to Entitlement" is disgusting.

It's only in Nigeria someone would make it and everybody would be like "he owes me something" or "He is supposed to help me... This is the main reason why Nigeria is the way it is. Until you stand up and work Smart + Hard you will continue in that cycle with NO ACHIEVEMENT.

So I was cruising the highway and all of a sudden my car was accelerating anymore and I had to pullover. I tried to start it but it wasn't working and it was so cold this morning. So I called my lady to help me out since the place wasnt too far from her work.

So she came and I took the cable out of her car to jump start my own car. I told her to turn off the car engine in order for me to fix the cables which i did only for her to turn her car ignition and her car also refused to work.

Both of us got stucked at highway with no help. We are there for 30 mins until a Mexican pulled over and took a battery charger from his car to charge up my lady's car for like 3 secs and it worked like magic.

He used it for me car too and worked. Infact i was so happy and hugged the guy.

He saved my ass today in a very cold weather. In situation like This, i miss Nigeria. I would have gotten a solution sharp sharp. Like jumpstarting the Car, rent a battery or a roadside mechanic.

Thank you BJs for this wonderful thread, I'm one of your targeted audience, currently serving in one of the southwest states, with the current situation of naija getting a good job is very hard which leaves almost every youth with the option of searching for greener pasture abroad.

I want to ask what is my chance of getting an F1 visa, I have a family friend in d US, can I ask him to go to a sch for me to make enquiry abt possible admission and I learnt getting I-20 is kinda hard from here, if he can get it for me then I think it'll be easier from there.

Your response/advice is highly needed.

Lionlee216 and co, thanks for ur insights, all are helpful.

Btw I've been on NL for over a year but I've not been active. Thanks
